The Women's Liberation Front (WoLF) is an American self-described radical feminist advocacy organization that opposes transgender rights and related legislation.[1][2][3] It has engaged in litigation on transgender topics, working against the Obama administration's Title IX directives which defined sex discrimination to include gender identity.[4] WoLF describes itself as radical feminist,[3] and according to its mission statement, it wishes to "abolish regressive gender roles and the epidemic of male violence using legal arguments, policy advocacy, and public education".[5] It has been described by news sources including The Washington Post, The Advocate and NBC as feminist,[1][2][3] but progressive and feminist organizations like the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU)[3]and the National Organization for Women (NOW)[6] challenge this characterization, with NOW describing WoLF alongside Women's Declaration International as "anti-trans bigots disguised as feminists."[6]
WoLF has been characterized by Vox, The New Republic, and La Presse as a "trans-exclusionary radical feminist" (TERF) group,[7][8][9] and it has been described as a hate group by the Gender Justice League[10] and the University of Wisconsin Law School QLaw student group.[11][12]
